Description:

Protocol Development: Three Keys to Faster, Better Protocols

Gary Tyson, Senior Vice President and head of our Clinical Development Practice, will identify opportunities for significantly improving protocol development and will look at specific factors that can help improve the process.

Abstract:

Protocol Development: Three Keys to Faster, Better Protocols
 
Over the last decade, approaches to protocol development have remained virtually unchanged despite modifications in nearly every other facet of clinical study execution. While data capture and site selection, for instance, have undergone changes that significantly improved both quality and efficiency, approaches to protocol development have stagnated. As a result, protocol development has secured a universal stigma as being a labor-intensive, poorly-designed process that results in significant amounts of rework. A well-defined process, however, can help keep study execution within budget and time parameters, and is essential in today’s demanding clinical development environment.
 
This workshop will identify opportunities for significantly improving protocol development and will highlight factors that will help improve the process, including
 
  • Approaching protocol development in a clear, process-oriented manner
  • Properly defining roles of various staff involved in development and review
  • Eliminating the “white space” where no value is added to the protocol development process
